Introducing Zoho Wiki 2.0

‘Information is Wealth’ is a saying that we all know of. But the truth is unorganized information is not of much help. For information to be useful and more effective, it becomes all the more important that it is properly organized and made easily searchable. Wikis are increasingly being used for information gathering and storage. And they are being used as a collaboration medium by individual users and also by organizations.

We are happy to announce the release of Zoho Wiki 2.0, whose focus now is on better organization of information (effective content sharing) and building group collaboration. By introducing multiple groups sharing and team workspaces, we have made collaboration much easier and effective.

So, What’s New in Zoho Wiki 2.0?

WorkspacesOrganizations can create independent, fully customizable workspaces exclusively for their departments, teams, branches, etc. Workspaces promote sharing and collaboration within the team and also with other groups. They can function as separate wikis, complete with own administrative controls, security setup and full customization option. For eg., An IT Company can have team spaces for different projects, for HR, for marketing, for sales, etc. Within a school wiki, teachers can create individual workspaces for each class.

Enterprise Level Wiki PermissionsWikis can have multiple group permissions for better access controls and thereby ensure fine grained security. A project wiki can be assigned to a particular team and can be shared with other team members and also with clients across the globe. You can clearly define as to who has edit permissions and who has view permissions.

Zoho Business SupportOrganizations that have bought Zoho Business can now seamlessly integrate Zoho Wiki for better content sharing and collaboration between their employees. Each Zoho Business account gets a free Zoho Wiki with 3 workspaces and 3 users.

Improved Wiki Home PageYour wiki home page is better organized now. Your wikis are classified as organizational, your own and those you are subscribed to. And you can mark your favorite wikis, workspaces and individual wiki pages too.

Enhancements in File CabinetFrom within Zoho Wiki itself, you can now create new documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Also, you can upload documents stored in Google Docs.
